Sonata Arctica - Replica

I'm home again,
I won the war,
And now I am behind your door
I tried so hard
To obey the law
And see the meaning of this all
Remember me? Before the war
I'm the man who lived next door
Long ago...

As you can see, when you look at me,
I'm pieces of what I used to be
It's easier if you don't see me
Standing on my own two feet
I'm taller when I sit here still
You ask are all my dreams fulfilled
They made me a heart of steel
The kind of bullets cannot see

Nothing's what it seems to be
I'm a replica, I'm a replica
Empty shell inside of me
I'm not myself,
I'm a replica of me...

The light is green, my slate is clean
New life to fill the hole in me
I had no name, last December,
Christmas Eve I can't remember
I was in a constant pain
I saw your shadow in the rain
I painted all your pictures red
I wish I had
Stayed home instead Nothing's what it seems to be
I'm a replica, I'm a replica
Empty shell inside of me
I'm not myself,
I'm a replica of me...

Are you gonna leave me now,
When it is all over
Are you gonna leave me,
Is my world now over

Raising from the place I've been
And trying to keep my home base clean
Now I'm here
And won't go back believe

I fall asleep and dream a dream
I'm floating in the silent stream
No-one placing blame on me
But nothing's what it seems to be

Nothing's what it seems to be
I'm a replica, I'm a replica
Empty shell inside of me
I'm not myself,
I'm a replica of me...
